A Fresno elementary school principal was charged with child abuse and endangerment after it was revealed he pushed an 11-year-old special needs student to the ground.
Newly released footage from inside Wolters Elementary School depicts the moment Brian Vollhardt, who resigned amid a police investigation over the summer, violently shoved the boy with autism on June 7.
The video shows the boy pointing at Vollhardt and speaking with him in the school cafeteria along with two other staff members.
As the boy appears to be leaving with the staff, he returns and points at Vollhardt one more time before the principal suddenly pushes the boy in the chest, sending the 11-year-old flying to the ground.
One of the staff members rushes to the boy's aid, and Vollhardt can be seen pointing back toward the child and yelling at him.
Ann Frank, the boy's legal guardian who described him as her son, told ABC 30 that she got a call from Vollhardt that day claiming the student assaulted him.
Frank said it took more than three months for the tapes to confirm what her boy had told her, that it was Vollhardt who knocked him to the ground.
'You cannot put force to these kids like that,' Frank said condemning Vollhardt's actions. 'My son is autistic. Any parents seeing this video, they know what I'm feeling right now.
'My son was pushed with force by this principal who was supposed to protect him.'

Autistic children do not get a free pass. Asking them to control their emotional outbursts is like asking a diabetic to mentally control their blood sugar levels

NCLB appoints an "advocate" for the disabled kid. I cannot tell you how many parent teacher conferences that I have had where the parent or the advocate imply or outright say they will get a lawyer if we don't do what they want. Some even had a lawyer present during the conference when it was a discipline /expulsion issue.
That also included a case where the kid finally graduated and the parents sued to remove the "special needs" tag from the kids school record (asperger's syndrome)...but, only after they graduated, not while they could reap the benefits while in school. They wanted it removed so he could enlist in the military. That must have been a very short career BTW.
I’m sorry, I had no idea the depth of your ignorance in this regard. Thank you for the clarification. I now understand why you don’t understand.
Anyone who thinks that autism is analogous with blood disorders when it comes to human behavior couldn’t be expected to understand.
Bless your heart.
Parents who think kids can just get away with bad behavior just because a kid has an illness needs to be horsewhipped.
Funny is it not that the rise in autism has kinda happened as they don’t allow parents/teachers to spank kids? Yea some here have noticed this and it’s not just Michael Savage.
Now parents wanted them “mainstreamed” to be treated like everyone else so the little brats darn well better start acting like it or maybe mainstreaming is not for them. Every other kid has to behave.
Oh but I see what you are saying “my child has a autism so he has a “Golden Ticket” to act like an jackass and if others don’t like it oh well”.
People without the sense to know why paraplegics don’t play hopscotch should learn to shut their mouths.
Alternatively they can get really loud and make sure everyone realizes they’re a moron.
Are you Margaret Sanger?
No, but my presumption is that one of the tentacles of the hydra of societal destruction the woke communists are directing is to disrupt normality among children by forcing them to accept the crazed, floridly perverted, and the massively dysfunctional. The freak show is to have extra rights being ‘special’ while the normals will be taught that the crazies are so much better than they are. The very wealthy and supremely evil Andrew Salomon seems to be the director of this part of the campaign for social destruction.
